First of all, I will have to attend a 4 hour class on nutrition, which I personally think is awesome, and it asked that I bring my support with me. Just be coincidence its on a Wednesday, which is my hubby's day off. Yay, my support gets to go!! It also states that I will need to purchase a started kit, that consists of vitamins, protein supplement, 6 shakes, 6 pudding shakes, and a box of meal replacement bars. Its 100.00. At first I thought, OMG that is soo expensive, but then I got to adding it all up individually, because you can order your supplies off the website individually. It would be about the same price, if you ordered it individually, as it is getting the starter kit. I also saw that I will have to be on a 2 week program of strictly protein shakes/ bars. I will need approximately 8 boxes of bars, and 28 shakes. I have heard these things taste horrible. We shall see. I will be looking at approximately 145-160 dollars for this. I am thankful that my insurance pays for the entire weight loss program fee though, because that alone is 3000.00 dollars and most insurances only pay half of this. Strictly medicare does not cover it at all, but I have humana gold plus as my secondary insurance, and it covered it all.

I am so envious that you are so close to your surgery date. I am in the second month of a six month diet that is required by my insurance.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to have found your blog as keeping up with your progress will help me I am sure.
Good luck on beginning your starter kit. At first I thought $100 was a lot as well, but considering I will be replacing regular food it doesn't seem so much.
I would love for you to visit my web site / blog at www.thelongweight.com. Maybe we could share links.
Hang in there. You can do anything you decide you are going to do. I wish you well.
